GEORGE WARRIS
He entered a maker's mark of his initials in an oval shape at Sheffield Assay Office in 1885 from 32 Howard Street.
The 1901 UK Census recorded him aged 73 years as a silversmith living at 40 Crescent Road, Ecclesall Brierlow.
His death in 1906 was recorded in the Ecclesall Brierlow register.

SHAW & FISHER

Shaw & Fisher - Sheffield - 1849

Shaw & Fisher - Sheffield - 1857
Shaw & Fisher - Sheffield - 1880
Another old-established concern in the Britannia-metal and electro-plate trade is in the market. The firm of Shaw and Fisher, in Suffolk-road, has scarcely seen its 60th birthday, but in the course of a few weeks it will be brought to the hammer " in two lots." The first comprises the buildings, and the second the "good-will," trade mark, registered designs, &c. There has been neither Shaw nor Fisher in the concern for many a year. The late head of the firm was Mr. C. Hall, whose death was noticed in these notes last year. Mr. Hall's son has decided not to continue the business, hence the sale. For some time past the business has been offered for sale as a going concern, but in these times such intangible things as good-will do not bring very much in the market. A rumour got abroad in the town that Messrs. John Round and Son were about to purchase, but the only foundation for this somewhat unlikely story appears to have been the fact that Mr. Ridge and Mr. Sawson paid a visit to the works by invitation. The works and business will be offered for sale at the auction rooms of Messrs. Nicholson, Greaves and Barber, early in June.

WILFRED JACKSON

Wilfred Jackson - Sheffield - 1878
Wilfred Jackson - Sheffield - 1882
WILFRED JACKSON, HOLLIS CROFT ELECTRO-PLATE WORKS, SHEFFIELD
This business was established about thirty years ago, and has been carried on at the Hollis Croft Works for some twenty-five years by the present owner, Mr. Wilfred Jackson. The works are of a most complete and compact nature, and are fitted with every requisite for securing satisfactory results in the various departments. The proprietor actively superintends the operations going on, and has succeeded in building up a large and remunerative business. He is in a position to compete favourably with the many similar industries carried on around him. His goods are characterised by a novelty and beauty of design and superior finish. The variety, too, is excellent, there being no lack of choice; and new patterns are frequently being added. The chief attention is devoted to hollow ware, in teapots, coffee-pots, cups, and general hollow-ware goods. These are in electro-plate and Britannia metal. Many very handsome designs are turned out in cups, suitable for all kinds of presentation purposes. The premises have the office in the front, and the works are at the rear. A new engine-house has recently been erected, in which is placed one of Crossley Brothers’ celebrated gas-engines, to supply power to the works. There are several spinning, burnishing, and making-up workshops, and a shop set apart for plating and gilding. A considerable number of expert hands find employment. The trade extends over the greater part of England, and is of a very extensive nature. Mr. Jackson’s enterprise and industry is fully recognised, and he is much respected by all having business dealings with him.
